List - I realize we are a quiet list, therefore not as likely to be in the address book of a newly Virus-Infected computer, however there has been much recent eMail activity which can imitate legitimate Mailing List Posts or responses to you about a Post. Note they come directly to you, not from any Mailing List. Rootsweb has not sent these and cannot send or receive attachments to/from anyone. If you should receive an unexpected attachment from anyone, whether or not you know them, it is a safe bet to delete it, they can always re-send if it was legitimate. The attachments of late come with litte more in the body of the eMail except the attachment and a subject line which may even have relevant wording. Some may ask you to note the interesting attachment. Most seem to be .pif files that I have received. Please note that it is not allowed for Viruses to be discussed on any Rootsweb Mailing List and I thank you for not doing so on this one. Only the Administrator is allowed to Post on the topic of Viruses. Questions should be directed to me at the return address for this Post or to Rootsweb. See the official Rootsweb HelpDesk site for Advisories on any subject - a down time or system crash, an outage for part of the Mailing Lists, any virus problem causing Listers headaches, or other topic of crisis within Rootsweb can be read at the HelpDesk. Keep this bookmarked if you wish and occasionally read the "Yellow Box" which is the crisis center bulletin board. - Meg Greenwood, your List Lassie http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com
